The Training

 

All facets of the Recreational Aviation Australia (R.A.A., formally the Australian Ultralight Federation, A.U.F.) Training Syllabus are covered by Parkside Ultralight School.

All standards are catered for, from the absolute beginner to seasoned General Aviation Pilots wanting to convert their licence to a better type of aviating!


Student Pilots

Qualification required to attain your R.A.A. Pilots Certificate consists of a minimum of 20 hours flight time, of which 5 hours must be 'solo'.  Further training can then be conducted to achieve:

  • Passenger endorsement

  • Radio endorsement

  • Cross country endorsement

 

Parkside Ultralight School can also test pilots for:

  • 'Bi-annual Flight Review'

  • Tail wheel endorsement

 

General Aviation Conversion

Current General Aviation licence holders can convert to a R.A.A. Pilot Certificate after minimal amount of conversion training.  The flight times vary from Pilot to Pilot, however minimum conversion times as set down by R.A.A. apply.  (Flight hours required can be as little as 5 hours)
